Why Isn't The Browser Asking To Remember The Password?

What do you need to do on a login form so that the browser prompts to remember the login information? I have a input named 'username' and one named 'password'. on my browser i have

Solution 1:

Make sure your input is type="password". If its type is text, it won't work.

Solution 2:

Usualy nothing... Browser take care of that. There is a attribute in HTML to tell browser NOT to remember

autocomplete=off

Solution 3:

Firefox (I don't use the others, but I assume it mostly applies) will remember what you enter in any field of any form. Passwords are special probably because the field is marked as type="password" so Firefox will (by default) ask if you want to remember the credentials. If you select "Never ask again" it will never ask again, which might be what you're seeing. It stores this information per page and there's a setting somewhere which allows you to reset this, of course.
